Did you know that no matter the kind of phone you using, be it the latest iPhone or Android phone no matter how secured the phone might be, you are still prone to cyber attacks from hackers.
You could be protecting your device from malicious acts by installing antivirus on your phone, but sometimes these hackers are so smart that they are able to by pass the security system due to some lapse in the security protocols and lost often than not this happens due to our own negligence and ignorance. Not just hackers, there are even some free apps to spy on a cheating spouse.
Whiles these Antivirus companies develop sophisticated software to combat the attacks of the hackers, these hackers are also developing even more genius ways of hacking into our electronic devices, particularly cell phones.

It would be in your best interest to get yourself an antivirus and ensure that it is well updated to identify and prevent any modern virus attacks.

Any of these three under-listed codes would reveal to you any number that is forwarding your calls or text messages. If you fortunately, or unfortunately find out that your privacy has been breached, don’t worry there is another way of blocking that hacker from listening to your calls.
To check if your phone calls have been hacked, simply dial any of these codes on your phone.
1. Dial *#62#
